[teampractices] [FYI] Planning offsites

[Kevin Smith]

My understanding is that the main other initiative is coming from Finance,
and is focused on spending donor money wisely for group travel (including
but not limited to offsites). It includes travel, admin, and c-levels. They
seem to be in kind of a planning and fact-finding phase right now.
